Why the outrage when the mogul worked the sameway? My mogul's GPS works great with the cell radio off. It's the first thing I tried when the leaked GPS ROM came out.
From my understanding the Mogul, like the 800w, will NOT work with GPS if you disable the radio and soft reset it. My Mogul behaves the sameway though I believe there is a registry hack to fix this.

Having said that, I've heard from a few 800w owners that they turned off their radio after they started TeleNav and it guided them over 100 miles with the radio off so it would appear it needs the radio on for some sort of initial "kick-off" then it continues to work.
